I think you're joking because there's no way that you could have missed the point of my post and that gif so stupendously, but I'll throw these your way anyway because I'm in a gif-mood.

Jason Jones comes up to my friends and me in a bar in NYC last year and starts hitting on us by saying, "What are we bitching about, bitches?" Um no. Hit him with that ice cold stare. He keeps trying to hit on us (to be fair, it was for his producer I believe) and finally says,

Reverse racism is a fallacy. It doesn't exist, so your hypothetical is worthless. There couldn't be a lesser example of "oppression" than this article. How you can compare institutional and historical racism with "white people ruining slang" is astonishingly ignorant.

I posted this yesterday but I don't even care because I love it and I want it here too.

But Kate - you don't have a dog or a baby. I guarantee you no pet lover is lucky to have "great, low-key, low-cost replacement for a child." What you misunderstand is that MY DOG IS A BABY HE IS A FURBABY AND HE IS MY ACTUAL BABY.

What is your point? I can't tell if you're making a joke or if you mis-read my comment!

This dude is such a slick troll. The tell is always accusing commenters on a women-oriented site of being "emotional" and "illogical" while maintaining a super calm tone about a human atrocity. Sad to see him on the highlights page. Good on you for throwing his fucking tone policing out the window.

I'm confused about what you're arguing here. I said she's privileged because she comes from a privileged background, which she mentioned here (in my opinion - it's fine you read it differently) to illustrate how enlightened she believes she is on all things LGBT. I don't see what your point in your response is; can…

Her parents raised her in one of the most expensive cities in the United States, sent her and her sister to private schools and college, owned a summer home in another incredibly expensive state, not to mention she's white, educated, and heterosexual. I'm not saying she's privileged because she grew up around gay…

What is your point? Judging from your pedantic, contrarian comment history (seriously 60% of your recent comments start with either a contradictory phrase or tone), you don't have anything meaningful to contribute to this conversation. If you do have something to add, please clarify your previous comment because it…

Yes. She fits all the criteria. She shall be a colonel someday.

I didn't know you could do sex selection with IVF! Now my dream of raising a female feminist army will be complete!

Eh, you're clearly not a teacher. I'm not going to argue with you about how you think I should do my job. You're more interested in being defensive and pressing a narrow conversation than learning about a job you don't do. In the future, I strongly suggest never telling a teacher how to do their job - it makes you…

Deserved what? Is it hurtful to tell a kid (yes, I think of my kids as kids, not anywhere near adults) that their actions have consequences on relationships? Is it hurtful to tell a kid that even though they're children, adults have high expectations for how they treat others? Is it hurtful for a child to face the…

When a 20 year old boy in my class calls a disabled child in our class a "retard" to his face, I think it's acceptable for him to know that our relationship and future interactions can be shaped by the way he treats others. This is what I would tell an adult who called a disabled person a retard, because being…

When one of my students was cruel to another (the only behavior when I've actually told a kid I didn't like them), I thought it was important for him to know that his actions reflect on the way people perceive him as a person, especially when he's cruel. And even adults make judgement about his character when he's…

LOL. They wear effing uniforms. He doesn't call boys anything because there aren't any good sexist insults that remind boys they're only as good as their purity/sexuality and that their personal worthlessness is directly tied to their gender. That's what drives me crazy. If you're gonna call a kid who's acting like an…

Absolutely not. I've never called a kid a name or yelled at a kid during class. It's so hard not to sometimes, but I also try to make any "judgement" language about my response to a child's behavior which they can control. I personally think it's okay to say, "I don't like you right now because you did X," because…
